The Company has been formed for purchasing and ex tending the well-known iron ship-building establishmil ent of Mesas. Martin samuelson and Co. , of Hull. T kihe capabilities of these works are unsurpassed by any in the ngdopm— they occupy 11 acres of ground ge to the river , with water front a Humber and river Hull, having a depth of water of 30 feet. The present iron chip-building power of the establishment is equal to the con struction of 20,00 tons p on per ann M um. at which rate the work s are now being carried . essrs. Samuelson and Company have orders on hand for ships ex ceeding 20,00 , tons ; other large orders are offed present yi and t is proposed to take 11 ac res of land adjoining therd, and which Messrs. S amuelson and Company ave secured, so as to extend the works to meet the large daily increasing profitable demand tor ships, and to erect rolling mills for the manufacture of the iron required for ship builuing, as well as for all kinds of railway and engineering works. In addition to the eng ineerin g works, foundry, and ship building- yards, there is a p atent slip, for repairing ships of the largest class. This is a highly profitable part o, the busi ness. Temand for the use of tis patent sli has been such that ithas never been unemployehd since Messrs. Samuel son and Company constructed it at a considerable cost some years ago. The situation of this establishment gives it special advan tages over others of a like eh-erecter. The pri eof ship-build ing labour is lower at Hull th an in any of the iron ship building ports of the kingdom; it is in the great iron district of Yorkshire ; coat fah heap, rail w ays run into the works, and Conn them with all parts of England. Freights are very moderate from Hull, and the large timber,tade of Hull offers advantages for the purchase of the which is used in large quantities, on highly advantageous con ditions. Two thousand workmen are now employed at the works. The present orders in hand f o r shi p s, engines, and general engineering work amount to above .£300,(00, all at very remu nerative prices. Reports made by some of the most eminent engineers who have examined the works, and who are specially acquainted with this branch of manufacture, show that atter making large allowances-33 per cent. off the capabilities of the work s, the trade will, with the judicious management and employment of the capital, return a dividend of 20 per cent. and upwards to the shareholders, and if the works continue to be fully employed, a much larger amount. Tha to ms of urchase are high!), a d van tageous ; the plant and machinery, building's, freehold and leasehold premises, together with al thi. stock of materials, are to b: taken at the valuation of two engineers, one named by the Company and the other by the vendors, with an umpire in the usual way. The goodwill of the business, including the profit on works in hand, is to be paid for at one year's pur chase of the net 'polite, but on an average of three years' working. In the event of no allotment being made, the deposits will be returned in fu L Should a less number of shares be al' ott ed than is app !led for, the deposit will be made ailable toward s the paym nt on allotment, an d the balance available towards the paym nt omi allotment, and the balance, if any, returned to the applicant.

The weather underwent a great change on Wednesday evening, and on Thursday it was so cold that visitors to the Heath required their overcoats. Notwithstanding the threatening appearance of the clouds, the attendance on the One Thousand day, though it would bear no comparison to Tuesday, was quite equal to that of previous years, and greatly in excess of that of any ether day excepting the Two Thousand. After the closing of the Telegraph office on Wednesday night, some important changes occurred in the betting on the One. Thousand, Chester Cup, and Derby. For the first-mentioned race Gazza Ladra finished decidedly favourite, as little as 4 to 1 being booked at the close, Mas querade and Sardinia finding supporters at 6 to 1, whilst Molly Carew declined to 7 to 1, and Tooi Tooi to 100 to 8, Blair Athol was backed for the Derby to win upwards of £26,000 at all prices, from 28 to 1 down to 13 to 1, and Bacchus was brought from the outside price of 25 to 1 to 16 to 1, at which latter price he was freely sup ported for the Chester Cup, and Little Stag at 100 to 8, and Oldminister at 20 to 1, also received substantial support for the Rhoodee event. Prior to moving for the Heath this morning, speculation upon the One Thousand was carried on with animation. Masquerade re turned to first favourite, Gazza Ladra being driven to 6 to 1, whilst 6 to 1 was taken about Sardinia, 7 to 1 about Sis ter to Drake, 7 to 1 offered ags t Molly Carew, 10 to 1 ago Tooi Tooi, and 100 to 8 agst Tomato. B e yond several 100's to 6 and 100's to 7 being accepted about Beckey Sharpe, nothing of the outside lot were supported. The morning speculation on the Chester Cup consisted of 500 to 20 each agst Tippler and My Mary (taken), whil st t h e highest o ff e r agst Bacchus was 100 to 8. The card for this day com prised eight races inclusive of a match, and the overnight entries were as numerous as any of the preceding days, as our return given below will indicate. Commencing at 1.30 and concluding at 6 o'clock, there was a busy afternoon pro vided for the " metallicians," and bettin g on the various events to decide was most spirited, more particularly on the principal contest, which was appointed for three o'clock. As already mentioned, the crowd was by no means so great as on 2 uesday , nevertheless there was a very large assemblage of spectators, and double rows of carriages, equestrians,and pedestrians lined each side of thp ropes, and the "run in." Unlike the glorious weather of T u e s day, the atmosphere continued cloudy and cold during the sport, except towards the conclusion, when the sun broke out ; but it was only a transient gleam, and the cold gloom returned. The racing of the day admits of lhtlo comment, as, with the exception of the One Thousand, the events were of an ordinary cha racter. The success of Vivid, however, in the Plate of £lOO over the Rowley Mile, beating su ch clippers as Wingrave, Bathilde, Caroline, (lemma, so., caused fresh irritation among the backers of the French fll:y for the Two Thou sand ; as prior to the race on Tuesday it had been con stantly asserted that Fills de r Air could accomplish won ders with Vivid. It is a remarkable fact, but Jenning's favourites never win when supported by th e public. The One Thousand Guineas crea t ed a deal of interest among the speculators, and in Use betting ring the New market Oaks evidently gave rise to some spispirtedspecula tion. Little alteration was noticeable in the tone of the market at the finish. Sardinia left off favourite at 7 to 2, 5 to I was booked about Masquerade and MollyCarew, who were in favour, and towards the close advanced to 6 to 1, and in certain cases less odds were accepted. Tomato ranked next, but about her as much as 10 to 1 could always be obtained, and being by no means hcsvity supported, she was a comparative outsider. The race was preceded by several failures, caused chiefly by tbo intractability of Gazza Ladra and Goldyloeks; indeed the latter, ltho possesses a notorious temper, once or twice bolted out of the course. Every feature of the race will be found described below, i;:kt we may chronicle with satisfaction the fact that Baron Rothschild's two fillies, Tomato and Breeze, finished first and second, which was received with as many demonstra tions of enthusiasm as General Peel's victory, the Baron being one of the most princely supporters of Newmarket and a lover of the national peatime in all its purity and dig nity. Singularly enough, in the One Thousand last year Lord Stamford achieved a parallel triumph, his lorill dhip's fillies, Lady Augusta and Flying Fish, having it w be ' remembered finished first and second. The favourites were thoroughly beaten, and we believe there was no excuse for their defeat except Molly Carew's, as Harry Grimshaw, her jockey, alleged that Masquerade cannoned against her, and w that upwards of four lengt hs were lost thereby. The ra cingas concluded at 5 o'clo ck, and the company left the h eath cold ad cheerless, agd to add to the dimgronons, t )ajot ' clouds of fine dust had to be ridden through on the return into the town.

The other 11 were introduced by other companies, and in which provisions were con tained conferring powers on or having cl a u ses afftcting the London and South-Western Company. Only four of the bills could be dealt with by the meeting, as the remainder were not ready. Mr. Burcham, the company's solicitor, then read the heads of a bill to authorise the company to make A railway from Kensington to Richmond, and junc tion lines communicating with the Hammersmith and City Railway and the North and South-Western Junction Railways, and to raise Umber moneys and to authorise arrangements. _ lIERErATI wished to know whether the proposed new lines were calculated to bring them into collision with other companies. 25 to 1 apt Daragab (taken) The CHAIRMAN said no, but that on the contrary they were calculated to avert any such eventgality. He then proposed the approval of the bill, and Mr. DUTTON having seconded it, it was carried unanimously. Mr. Burcham then recited the preamble and clauses of the second bill, which was a bill for authorising the company to make a railway from Chertsey to the Staines and Wokingham Railway at Egham, and for other purposes. Mr. HITCHINS aeconded the approval of the bill, and it was carried unanimously. The next bill was promoted by another company, to authorise certain deviations from the Oakhamp• ton lines, and to raise further moneys. Capt. JOHNSON seconded the approval of the bill, and it was carried unanimously. _ The last bill was to authorise the West London Docks and Warehouses Company to execute further works and to make arrangements with other com panies to raise further money.

The CHAIRMAN, in moving its adoption, said it was the 20th occasion on which it had been his pri vilege and duty to preside at their general meetings, It was a great gratification to him to be able to state that the lino from Calcutta to Delhi was open for traffic with the exception of the bridge over the Jumna at Allahabad. They could now take pas sengers over their line from Calcutta to Delhi and vice versa, a distance of 1,020 miles. The progress tbey had made in the works during the past fire years had boen very considerable ; they had no means of comparing the vast works on their line with those in any other country. He thought every one must admit that notwithstanding the various difficulties and obstructions thrown in their way from time to time, the progress they had made was very satisfactory. They mid not compare the works of any line in England either for magnitude or length of continuous line with their E tat Indian line, There was not a lino on any part of the eon- Now ready, at all the Libraries, in Thr€e Vols., SECOND EDITION of BARBARA'S HISTORY.

The Punjaub line had also been altered so tht both lines should enter Delhi.

The net receipts, after deducting wcrking (=- petits amounted to £439,464, or an average of £9 2s. d. per mile per week, lie then drew atten tier to the effect of filling up the link between Allhabad and Beuares.

The average fotehe whole year of the gross receipts of the Ben gaidivision was £23 7s 9d per mile per week. wet. Since the Ist of January last the returns - shoeed that for the week ending the 10th of .4:eery the average receipt per mile was £29 8s; enling the 17th of January, £3O 16s 4d per mile ; enciag the 24th of January, £22 11s 4:1 par mile; and for the wcelz ending the 31st of January, £34 1081 d per mile. This was one of the immediate effects of opening the line throughout, raising the average receipts per mile from £23 7s 9d for 1863 to £34 lOs ld for the last week in January. On their other line, in the North-West Provinces, the average receipt per mile per week was £l5 is 5d during 1863, and for this line they had the returns a month later. The receipts per mile per week for the four weeks in February last were at the rate of £2O 2s 113, £2l 103 Id, £24, and £26 19s 4d re spectively, showing a similar result in the upper provinces. So far he thought he might congratu late the shareholders on the opening of the line throughout. He believed the present tragic was an earnest of what they should have eventually. With the increase of traffic it was very desirable they should have economy of working. The cost of car rying the traffic had considerably increased ; it arose in some respects from carrying a very largo amount of traffic over a single line. There was another reason in the large amount they paid for wages to Europeans. Every engine -driver must be a European. The wages they gave were £lB a month, which was double the amount paid in Europe. When they considered that less work was done for the money, the cost of sending men out to India, and other matters, the average cost of European labour in India was 5 to 1 in England. In the revenue account of the Bengal division they would perceive that £86,000 had been expended on the locomotive de partment, which was 25 par cent. of the working expenses. Of that amount £38,000 was Ler wages of veginedrivers and cleaners. The expenditure had engaged the ecrious consideration of the Beard, and they had called the attention of their officers to the subject. Again, in the revenue account of the rail way in the North-\Vest Provinces, there was a heavy.eharge for fuel—X4l,ooo, or about 33 per cent of the total expenses. Of that sum £24,0^0 was the cost of coal, coke, and wood. This included a charge for loss of weight in wood fuel, which be longed to the previous half year. This item brought him to a point in reference to the alternative line propose.d a long time since by the Board for passing- ti.rougii a C.itriet of c's.. - uat,y es:al deposits, with the view of supplying thei en gines with excellent coal. The Government at last had avarsc - rated to i~dopt eftithirtargi7irireir. The line or male up,ii cue; Le 0 0 :ea,•n a- Three routes from their mein line to the coal deposits had been surveyed by their engirecre, and ho supposed by the end of the year the Gov:rumen:, would come to some d,C1.1011 as to the route. It would shorten the distance for carrying through traffic by nearly 100 miles, and save the expenee of doubling the circuitous portion of the main lino between the points of junction with the proposed new line. They had not yet disposed of their large flotilla, as it was not easy to find purchasers. If out of the £584,000 expended on those vessels and their machinery they should bo able to place a comparatively small sum to the credit of capital, the rest would be amply covered by the advantage already gained of being enabled to complete the line so much sooner by the aid of the flotilla than they possibly could without it. The establishment of the audit department in India hcd realised all their anticipations as to the satisfactory audit of the accounts. Nothing was ex pended without the sanction of the Government offi cer, and the interests of the shareholders were pro tected. He believed the statement of the accounts was a fair and faithful record of what was done in India. There was also an audit committee, consist ing of members of the Board, to examine every. thing. They had a bill now before Parliament which would be submitted to the proprietors for their approval at the proper time, in compliance with the standing orders of the House of Lords. They sought power in it to alter the times of hold ing the annual and half-yearly meetings, holding them a mouth or two later to give time for the pre paration of the accounts. They proposed to esta blish a savings -bank for their army of servants in India, which he had no doubt would be of great advantage to them. They also proposed to ask for power to raise seven millions of additional capital, which, with the 20 millions already authorised, and three millions borrowing power, would mako an even sum of 30 millions. The cost of the lino and works from various circumstances had been much greater than was originally anticipated. The price of materials and labour had since they commenced greatly increased in amount. Had Government permitted the terminal station at Howrah two or three years ago to be en 'urged to accommodate the immense traffic in the manner proposed by the directors, a considerable saving in the cost would have been ef f ected; and this was also the case with regard to the delay of other necessary works. The traffic on the line had reached £34 per mile per week, and the directors were now anxious to provide ample station accom modation and working stock to earn £4O per mile per week, This rendered a large portion of the proposed additional capital necessary. The effects of the great changes in the economy of India had been to enlarge its resources, and if the railway company intended to realise theadvantaga of a large traffic on their lino they must provide the means of carrying and accommodating it in every respect. Mr. MORGAN said if they were to realise more than the 5 per cent. guarantee the working expenses must be Teduced from 60 per cent. to something like 50 per cent,, and if they were to Pay a l ar ge divi dend they must secure the coal trafEe, Mr. lIARTRIDGE wished t o k now whether t h e cost of the new line int en d e d to pass throug h t h e coal deposits was included is the proposed £7,000,000 of additional capital, The CITAIRMAN said th e y bad put down £2,C00,000 for that purpose, and L 1,000,000 for p a o p rt or w ti a o s a the retir uonfanthime °muesli; adoptedline. retir ing directors and auditors were reelected, and Mr. doubling vrnere Godfrey was elected an a uditor.
